Gdsm Bolger previously bragged to pals about meting Prince William – who is the Irish Guards Colonel of the Regiment – and his wife at the 2017 St Patrick’s Day parade even remarking on Kate's slim figure.

A pal said: "It is shocking that he was allowed to be so close to the Royals again this year after everything that has happened.

"It is disgusting that the army allowed him the huge of honour of meeting our Royals just months after he pleaded guilty to such revolting crimes.”

Last night Chief of the General Staff General Sir Nick Carter, said: “I have ordered an immediate investigation by a senior officer into whether the Army's response to this case was appropriate.

“The Army's values and standards underpin the professionalism and discipline for which we are known worldwide, and I will not tolerate unacceptable behaviour of any form in the Army.”
